SUSPICIOUS. The skill’s stated purpose is plausible, but its actual footprint relies on unverifiable remote installers, unpinned package execution, and unsafe pickle deserialization. The install paths are not proportionate to a trustworthy dev-tool setup skill and create significant supply-chain and code-execution risk.

scripts/installer.py

This module is highly dangerous from a software supply chain perspective. It directly downloads and executes a remote shell script using `curl ... | bash` under `shell=True` (allowing remote code execution and potentially command injection through tool_name). It also performs unsafe deserialization with `pickle.load` from a predictable user-writable cache file, which can enable arbitrary code execution if the cache is tampered with. Overall, the code exhibits strong indicators of arbitrary code execution capability rather than safe, integrity-checked installation or caching.
